Lite Beer Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 US official visits alien registration center to follow up on anti-human trafficking effortSAMUT SONGKHRAM, 26 July 2014 (NNT) – United States embassy officials visited the one-stop service center for migrant workers registration in Samut Sakhon on Friday to follow up on Thai authorities' efforts to curb human trafficking and labor rights problems that the US cited as reasons for its downgrade of Thailand in its annual Trafficking in Persons report.Ms. Miriam L. Award, Deputy Economic Counselor of the U.S. Embassy in Thailand, was briefed by officials at the center about the registration process and the progress of the registration of migrant workers. Samut Sakhon Governor Athit Bunyasophat was on hand to explain each of the procedures and to receive feedback. Afterwards, he expressed the belief that the US representative's first-hand account of the one-stop registration center would benefit Thailand.Since June 30, more than 50,000 migrant workers from Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia have registered with authorities through the newly created one-stop registration centers nationwide. -- NNT 2014-07-26 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonthai Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Those 50k already registered are only a very small part of an estimated 1.5mln of foreigners working in thailand. And it's the whole country, with the border areas the most affected, and not only bangkok and close around, which are being show cased to diplomats and media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not from the US, but considering the young people are being repatriated back by plane to their country of origin and the President calling for 2 Billion in funds to look after these kids, bearing in mind, they are also in good foster accommodation, makes Thailand's effort pretty ordinary by comparison. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noitom Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 The Thai military dictatorship should be visiting these Thai centers to follow up. If they don;t, then all the talk in the world about cleaning up is just hot air. Maybe the colonels and generals of the Thai military are too busy with their golf rounds.
